National foreword
This publication comprises the English language version of ENV 1991-3:1995,
Eurocode 1 Basis of design and actions on structures Part 3: Traffic loads on
bridges, published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), and the
National Application Document (NAD) for use with the ENV for traffic loads on
bridges located in the United Kingdom (UK).
ENV 1991-3:1995 results from the programme of work initiated by the European
Commission to make available a common set of rules for the design of bridges.
An ENV is made available for provisional application, but does not have the status of a
European Standard. The aim is to use the experience gained to modify the ENV so that
it can be adopted as a European Standard (EN).
The values for certain parameters in the ENV Eurocode may be set by CEN members
to conform to the requirements of national regulations. These parameters are
designated by boxed values in the ENV. The values to be used in the UK are tabulated
in this NAD.
During the ENV period, reference should be made to the supporting documents listed
in this NAD.
The purpose of this NAD is to provide essential information, particularly in relation to
safety, to enable the ENV to be used for bridges constructed in the UK. The NAD
sections/clauses are numbered in the same way as the ENV, and this NAD takes
precedence over corresponding provisions in the ENV.
Users of this document are invited to comment on its technical content, ease of use,
and any ambiguities or anomalies. Comments will be taken into account when
preparing the UK national response to CEN on the question of whether the ENV can
be converted to an EN.
Comments should be sent in writing to BSI, 389 Chiswick High Road, London W4 4AL,
quoting the document reference, the relevant clause and, if possible, a proposed
revision within 2 years of the issue of this document.
For the purposes of this NAD, all references to clauses, tables, figures, and annexes are
references to clauses, tables, figures, and annexes in this NAD, unless otherwise
specified.
Compliance with ENV 1991-3:1995 and this NAD does not of itself confer
immunity from legal obligations.
Summary of pages
This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i to vi, pages 1
to 44, the ENV title page, pages 2 to 130, an inside back cover and a back cover.

Introduction
This NAD has been developed from:
a) a textual examination of ENV 1991-3:1995;
b) a parametric calibration against
BS 5400-2, DETR implementation and supporting
standards and loading data;
c) trial calculations.
NOTE The relevant authorities are the Technical Approval
Authority of the Department of the Environment, Transport and
the Regions/Highways Agency, Railtrack PLC, British Railways
Board, British Waterways Board, London Underground Limited or
other relevant UK authorities responsible for the projects to which
the documents are applied.
This NAD covers all loads resulting from traffic on
highway and railway bridges. UK requirements
related to loads resulting from densities, self-weight
and imposed loads (ENV 1991-2-1), fire actions
(ENV 1991-2-2), snow loads (ENV 1991-2-3), wind
actions (ENV 1991-2-4), thermal actions
(ENV 1991-2-5), loads and deformations imposed
during execution (ENV 1991-2-6), and accidental
actions (ENV 1991-2-7) are specified in the NADs for
ENV 1991-2 (to be published separately).
1 General
1.1 Scope
This NAD provides information to enable
ENV 1991-3:1995 (EC1: Part 3) to be used to
determine traffic loads on bridges to be located in
the UK. Loading for highway bridges outside the
scope of the ENV shall use loads derived from the
relevant parts of the Design Manual for Roads and
Bridges (DMRB) (see annex T). Loading for railway
bridges outside the scope of the ENV shall be
specified by the relevant authority. Departure from
any of the requirements given in the NAD should be
agreed with the relevant authority.
This NAD does not cover traffic loads required for
structural appraisal and assessment of existing
constructions, or loads required for assessing repairs
and modifications, or for assessing change of use.
Separate documentation is required for these (see
annex T).
The design documents to be used in provisional
application of this NAD are listed in annex T,
together with any additional guidance on strength or
design recommendations. The data in Tables 4.5.1
to 4.5.10 and the replacement boxed values given in
annex X are compatible with these documents. If
other documents are used for design aspects, the
values given may not necessarily produce the
required level of reliability.
Boxed values to be used in this NAD
Relevant ENV boxed values with their replacement
NAD values applicable to highway bridges are given
in Table X.1.
Replacement NAD boxed values applicable to
railway bridges are specified in the text.
Additional annexes of this NAD
This NAD contains additional annexes that
do not have equivalent annexes in
ENV 1991-3:1995 (annexes S to Y). These are
numbered to ensure there is clear distinction from
existing (or NAD modified) ENV annexes, and allow
for other ENV annexes that may follow.
1.2 Normative references
The following normative documents contain
provisions that, through reference in this text,
constitute provisions of this National Application
Document. For dated references, subsequent
amendments to, or revisions of, any of these
publications do not apply. For undated references,
the latest edition of the publication referred to
applies.
These documents shall be used in conjunction with
the relevant UK NAD when published.

in Table 6.6(a).
1.4 Definitions
ENV 1991-3 uses terminology that may not be entirely
familiar to UK engineers. Definitions of terms are
given in ENV 1991-1.
1.5 Notation
ENV 1991-3 uses some notation that differs from
notation generally used by UK engineers. The ENV
notation should be adopted when using this NAD.
2 Classification of actions
2.1 General
Unless agreed otherwise by the relevant authority,
the required design life shall be 120 years for
highway bridges and 100 years for railway bridges.
The design models for traffic actions given in
the NAD shall be applied to all categories of bridges
and classes of route or line, unless the relevant
authority makes specific exclusions or additions for
a particular project.
2.2 Variable actions
The design working life for variable actions shall be
consistent with the design working life adopted for
traffic actions. The basis of combinations of variable
actions for the Ultimate Limit State in this NAD is
such that equal probability of exceedance of loading
is achieved for any combination, whether including
frequent, infrequent or quasi-permanent values in the
combination considered.
2.3 Accidental actions
The accidental actions given in this NAD shall apply
to all projects, unless the relevant authority specifies
more onerous requirements for particular projects.
3 Design situations and requirements
Design values shall generally be derived for all load
cases for all design situations before selecting the
critical load cases for the governing design
situations. The governing combinations shall be
identified for each element to be designed.
Account shall be taken in the total and coexistent
load effects of the contributions resulting from
consideration of adverse and relieving areas and
effects.
The following effects or actions shall be considered
with regard to the governing design situations.
a) The effects of shrinkage, creep, residual
stresses shall be considered.
b) Differential settlement shall be considered, if
required by the relevant authority. (The nominal
values to be provided for, as well as load factors
and combination requirements, if differential
settlement is to be considered, shall be agreed
with the relevant authority.)
c) Considerations of seismic actions and
combinations are not required, unless specifically
stated by the relevant authority.
d) Considerations of snow loads and combinations
are not required, except for the execution
condition relating to fabrication, erection and
construction, or if exceptional loads are likely to
be encountered.
e) Overturning and stability of the structure and its
parts shall be considered.
f) Earth pressures and loads relating to the design
of bridge foundations, abutments, retaining walls,
and piers, etc., shall be based on the principles of
ENV 1997-1 and the associated NAD.
4 Road traffic actions and other
actions specifically for highway
bridges
4.1 Field of application
For bridges with any individual span or loaded
length greater than 200 m, or with carriageway
widths greater than 42 m, the traffic models and
other loading requirements shall be as agreed with
the relevant authority.
Any specific models relating to weight limitations
and construction sites or other special situations
shall also be agreed with the relevant authority.
4.2 Representation of actions
The representative load models, loading classes,
divisions into notional lanes, location and numbering
of lanes, and application of the load models on the
individual lanes given in this NAD shall apply unless
otherwise agreed with the client and the relevant
authority.
4.3 Vertical loads: characteristic values
4.3.1 General and associated design situations
Load models 1 and 2 shall be applied in all general
and local verifications.
Load model 3 shall be applied to account for
abnormal vehicle loads, in accordance with the
classification of the bridges, unless the relevant
authority specifies other special vehicles; and shall
be applied in accordance with 4.3.4, unless any
departures in the method of application or
restriction or additional requirements are specified
by the relevant authority.

Load model 4 shall be applied only to footways and
to cycle tracks, unless specified otherwise by the
relevant authority, and shall not be applied to the
central reservation unless specified by the relevant
authority.
4.3.2 Load model 1: main loading system
Adjustment factors a shall conform to Tables 4.5.5
and 4.5.6 and the minimum adjustment factor given
in annex X.
The specified values shall apply unless agreed
otherwise with the relevant authority. In certain
circumstances, by agreement with the relevant
authority, upper and lower bound values to a may be
provided. The replacement simplifications in 4.3.2(6)
of ENV 1991-3:1995 may be applied unless otherwise
restricted by the relevant authority.
4.3.3 Load model 2: single axle model
The single axle adjustment factor b
Q
shall be taken
as equal to a
Q1
and the contact areas shall conform
to Figure 4.3 of ENV 1991-3:1995 unless otherwise
specified by the relevant authority. This model
should be considered for general as well as local
verifications.
4.3.4 Load model 3: special vehicles
Unless specified otherwise by the relevant authority,
the set of models to be applied for all design
purposes shall consist of the following pairs of
classes of special vehicles (see Table A.1 of
ENV 1991-3:1995):
a) for motorways and trunk road systems:
2 No. 900/150;
b) for principal roads (not forming part of a
motorway or trunk road system):
1 No. 900/150 + 1 No. 600/150;
c) for other public roads: 2 No. 600/150.
In each of a) to c), the pair of vehicles shall be
considered to be located anywhere in the most
unfavourable lane, but shall not be closer together
than 1.5 m, with each vehicle of the pair having the
associated gap to LM1 loading as shown in
Figure 4.5 of ENV 1991-3:1995.
Other classes may be required for special routes, and
these should be specified by the relevant authority to
account for special cases of abnormal loads.
However, in all cases, whichever special vehicles are
adopted, the description and axle arrangements for
general verifications shall conform to Table A.2
of ENV 1991-3:1995 for each class of special vehicle
used, and the positioning shall conform to
Figures 4.4 and 4.5 of ENV 1991-3:1995 and to
Figure 4.5.1. Similarly, for local variations, the loads
from each axle-line shall conform to Figure A.1 of
ENV 1991-3:1995.
In relation to 4.3.4(3)(c) of ENV 1991-3:1995, the
coincident main loading system shall consist
of 1.00 times the loading from the tandem system
combined with 0.88 times the UDL, instead of the
frequent values.
4.3.5 Load model 4: crowd loading
All elements supporting footway and cycle tracks
shall have uniform loading applied in accordance
with clause 5. The same loading shall be applied to
carriageways for crowd loading.
The concentrated load given in 5.3.2.2 of
ENV 1991-3:1995 shall only be considered in
local verifications of elements.
4.3.6 Distribution of loading and dispersal of
concentrated loads
The distribution analysis of the structure shall
conform to the DMRB.
No allowance for dispersal of UDLs shall be made.
Dispersal of 1 horizontally and 1 vertically throughout
any combination of pavement on concrete or
orthotropic steel decks shall generally be applied.
However, for asphalt surfacings the more onerous
spread to depth ratio of 1 horizontally to 2 vertically
through the asphalt thickness shall be used, unless
specified otherwise by the relevant authority.
4.4 Horizontal forces: characteristic values
4.4.1 Braking, acceleration and skidding
Consideration of lateral or skew braking is not
required unless specifically stated by the relevant
authority (see also annex T).
The braking or acceleration load derived shall not be
taken as less than 300 kN, to account for longitudinal
skidding, unless specified otherwise by the relevant
authority.
4.4.2 Centrifugal forces
Centrifugal forces may be derived and applied
separately for each lane, i.e. using Q
v
appropriate to
each lane (see also annex T).
4.5 Groups of traffic loads on highway bridges
Table 4.5.7 (ULS) and Tables 4.5.8 to 4.5.10 (SLS) and
associated notes give the common combinations and
groups that shall be considered for most highway
bridges, including, where relevant, reference to other
loads resulting from ENV 1991-2. Footway and cycle
track loads are incorporated. Reference is made to
development of the combinations and groups
required for the most common specific criteria
considered in the design documents.
NOTE The relevant authority may require other specific
combinations to be considered.
If special maintenance provisions are required to be
considered for design, the required groups of loads
shall be agreed with the relevant authority.

Notes to Tables 4.5.7, 4.5.8, 4.5.9 and 4.5.10
Double outline in ENV 1991-3:1995, Table 4.4, or bold
indicates dominant component action [i.e.
characteristic values (designated as component
associated with group); see ENV 1991-3:1995, 4.5 and
Table 4.4].
Table 4.5.7 (for ULS) and Tables 4.5.8, 4.5.9
and 4.5.10 (for SLS) specify the combined factors
that shall be applied to the characteristic values of
actions for the common design combinations of
actions applicable to most bridges, using the
relevant g, c, and a factors from Tables 4.5.1 to 4.5.6
for the characteristic, frequent, infrequent, and
quasi-permanent (see footnote
m
) values of the
multi-component traffic actions, derived in
accordance with ENV 1991-3:1995, 4.5.
For ULS, the combinations of actions accord with
the equation in ENV 1991-1:1994, 9.4.2, using partial
factors on actions given in Table 4.5.1. For SLS, the
characteristic (rare) frequent and quasi-permanent
combinations accord with the relevant equations in
ENV 1991-1:1994, 9.5.2, and the infrequent
combination with the additional equation in ENV
1991-3:1995, C.3.2(2), in each case multiplied by the
relevant partial factor on actions given in Table 4.5.2.
The values in the tables are the unfavourable factor
that shall be applied to the characteristic values
given in the relevant clause of the ENV (i.e., the
combined factor includes any a or c factor that shall
be applied to the characteristic loads, such as given
in Tables 4.5.3 to 4.5.6.
Reduced factors appropriate to favourable aspects of
permanent actions are shown in parenthesis, if not
equal to 1.0. There are no reduced values
appropriate to variable actions, as these shall be
taken as zero if favourable.
Footnotes
a
Two characteristic values should be taken to act
simultaneously in group 2.
b
Group 3 is not relevant if the service vehicle is not
specified and if group 4 is considered.
c
The special vehicles LM3 replace part of the
LM1 loading. The factors on the LM3 vehicles and the
coincident LM1 loading are included in the
Group 5 combinations in accordance with 4.3.4.
Alternative use of LM2 also applies (because
LM2 does not govern for lengths greater than 50 m,
consideration of trailing load for this alternative is
not relevant).
d
Factors for permanent actions have been
provisionally taken as specified in the ENV [not as in
the DMRB (BD37/88); see further notes in annex T].
e
Values use a for multiple lane carriageways, see
footnote
a
to Tables 4.5.5 and 4.5.6 for single lane
carriageways.
f
The single axle model (LM2) should be considered
separately and should be considered not to act
simultaneously with any other load model or variable
load, except as specified in footnote
c
.
g
Only one footway/cycle track should be taken as
loaded if the effect is more unfavourable than the
effect of two loaded. The combined factors shown
for the UDL on footways and cycletrack shall be
applied to the characteristic value of 5 kN/m
2
. This
characteristic value shall only be considered for road
bridges as specified in ENV 1991-3:1995, 5.3.2(3), and
allowance shall be made for the reduced
combination value to be taken as 2.5 kN/m
2
, where
appropriate, as specified in 4.5.1 of ENV 1991-3:1995.
h
For footbridges (see ENV 1991-3:1995, D.2.1)
group 3 or group 4 only loads shall be taken in
combination (see ENV 1991-3:1995, clause 5).
i
These actions shall be considered in turn with other
actions. See also ENV 1991-3:1995, Table C.2,
notes 4 and 5.
j
The wind only case shall also be considered at ULS
and SLS (i.e. without traffic; see ENV 1991-3:1995,
Table C.2, note 4).
k
The combination with temperature as the dominant
variable action should also be considered, using
relevant g and c values from Tables 4.5.1 to 4.5.4.
l
See note to C.2.1.2(4) of ENV 1991-3:1995.
m
The quasi-permanent combination shall be as
specified for frequent combination group 3, but with
no footway and cycletrack loading.

4.6 Fatigue load models
Traffic category and lane requirements shall be
agreed with the relevant authority in accordance
with Table 4.5 of ENV 1991-3:1995. Some further
guidance is given in annex Y. Fatigue
models 1 to 4 shall be applied in accordance
with 4.6.1 to 4.6.6, unless specified otherwise by the
relevant authority.
4.6.1 General
For fatigue verification the required design working
life of highway bridges shall be 120 years.
4.6.2 Fatigue load model 1
Fatigue load model 1 may be used to check whether
the maximum stress range exceeds the unlimited life
criteria. Adjustment factors shall conform to
annex X.
4.6.3 Fatigue load model 2
Fatigue load model 2 is used to check indefinite life
in the same way as model 1. The axle loads given
in Table 4.6 of ENV 1991-3:1995 may all be factored
by 0.80.
4.6.4 Fatigue load model 3
Fatigue load model 3 is used for damage summation,
in the event that model 1 or model 2 fail to
demonstrate indefinite life. The axle loads defined
for model 3 may all be factored by 0.70. For influence
line lengths L in excess of 50 m, the number of load
cycles shall be multiplied by a factor K
F
, where:
K
F
= (L/50)

4.6.5 Fatigue load model 4


Fatigue load model 4 is used if model 3 fails to
provide satisfactory assurance of life in the fatigue
life damage summation calculation. The equivalent
axle loads given in Table 4.7 of ENV 1991-3:1995 may
all be factored by 0.60.
4.6.6 Fatigue load model 5
Fatigue load model 5 and associated use of annex B
of ENV 1991-3:1995 shall only be considered if such
recorded data is available and current and only by
agreement with the relevant authority.
4.7 Accidental actions
4.7.1 General
All the accidental actions shall be considered unless
specifically excluded by the relevant authority.
Exclusion by protection due to effective safety
barriers shall only be if the barrier is shown to be
effective in accordance with the DMRB.
Any element or structure supporting the barrier shall
be designed to resist an equivalent loading derived in
accordance with the DMRB.
4.7.2 Collision forces from vehicles under the
bridge (on bridge supports and
superstructures)
Collision loads on highway bridge supports and
superstructures shall conform to the DMRB
requirements for vehicle collision loads on highway
bridge supports and superstructures, unless specified
otherwise by the relevant authority.
The collision loading for bridges that cross railway
tracks, canals or navigable water shall be as
specified by the relevant authority as agreed with the
appropriate authority responsible for the underlying
route. Bridges over railways shall conform to 6.7.1.3.
Any special requirements relating to exceptional
loads (e.g. due to vandalism or other deliberate or
accidental actions) shall be as agreed with the
relevant authority.
4.7.3 Actions from vehicles on the bridge
If a rigid effective barrier is provided (see 4.7.1), or
a kerb conforming to specific requirements provided
by the relevant authority, consideration of the
accidental axle load may not be required beyond
(outside) the barrier. This similarly applies in
relation to the central reservation area between inner
barriers or kerbs in dual carriageway arrangements.
The accidental axle load shall be considered in all
areas of the bridge, including footways, cycle tracks
and the carriageway, where these areas are not
protected by an effective barrier or kerb. Where the
barrier is effective but deformable, application of the
accidental axle load is only required within the
bounds of the maximum deformation of the barrier,
or within 1 m of the edge of the carriageway,
whichever is greater.
The full specified collision loads from vehicles on
kerbs or barriers shall be considered on carriageway
kerbs or barriers only where they are effective.
Where the barriers or kerbs are not effective,
reduced collision loads may be considered, taking
account of the height of the kerb or barrier. The
loads so derived shall not be taken as less than the
loads produced by application of the DMRB
requirements relating to local and global effects,
unless agreed otherwise with the relevant authority.
Collision forces on structural members shall be
taken as the most onerous condition from above,
taking account of the effectiveness or possible
deformation of any kerb or barrier where so
provided. In addition, the criteria of 4.7.2 shall be
applied, unless additional effective protective
measures are provided. The design of additional
protection or requirements for effectiveness shall
conform to the DMRB unless agreed otherwise with
the relevant authority.

4.8 Actions on parapets
Actions on parapets shall not be taken as less than
actions derived in accordance with the DMRB,
unless agreed otherwise with the relevant authority.
4.9 Actions on embankments
The dispersal of load shall be taken as conforming to
ENV 1997-1 and its associated NAD. The dispersal of
load shall be used for considerations relating to
embankments as well as for all parts of the bridge in
contact with earth or fill.
5 Pedestrian, cycle and other actions
specifically for footbridges
The service vehicle to be designed for shall be as
specified by the relevant authority, if different to the
vehicle shown in Figure 5.3 of ENV 1991-3:1995.
Partial factors on actions g shall conform to
Tables 4.5.1 and 4.5.2. The definition of groups of
loads and the combination and reduction factors c
shall conform to Tables D.1 and D.2 of
ENV 1991-3:1995.
Accidental actions and actions on kerbs and barriers
shall conform to the relevant actions from the
requirements in 4.7 and 4.8, respectively.
Vibration serviceability shall be checked in
accordance with the DMRB with respect to
deliberately induced vibration or resonance with the
movement of users. Foot and cycle track bridges
shall be checked for aerodynamic effects in
accordance with the DMRB.
6 Railway traffic actions and other
actions specifically for railway
bridges
6.1 Field of application
4) A light traffic mix is included in this NAD
(see annex F).
6.3.1 Eccentricity of vertical loads
(only load model 71)
3)P To clarify this subclause the text should be
replaced by the following.
The effect of lateral displacement of vertical loads
shall be considered by taking the ratio of wheel
loads on all axles as 1.25:1.00. The resulting
eccentricity is shown in Figure 6.1. No eccentricity
shall be considered in calculating fatigue effects.
6.3.2 Load model
In applying load model 71 and characteristic values
for vertical loads, the value of a shall be taken
as 1.0 to obtain the classified vertical loads, except
when considering the local effects from an individual
axle load on a structural element. In these cases the
value of a shall be taken as 1.1.
In exceptional cases, if safety and emergency
working are not adversely affected, a lighter loading
may be adopted. The provision also exists for
adopting a heavier loading on restricted sections
where appropriate.
The relevant authority shall determine the cases
where a loading other than specified above shall be
used.
In these cases the value of a shall be within the
limits given in 6.3.2(3)P of ENV 1991-3:1995.
When a loading other than load model 71 is adopted,
an appropriate traffic mix for fatigue shall be
established taking account of the design life of the
structure and any expected changes in the movement
of traffic over the structure. Normal and abnormal
operating conditions shall be considered.
The value of a used in conjunction with load
model 71 shall be applied to the following load
effects:
nosing;
centrifugal action;
longitudinal loads due to traction or braking;
accidental actions.
6.4.3.2 Dynamic factor F
2)P The dynamic factor shall be taken as F
3
unless
otherwise specified by the relevant authority,
except where a fatigue damage assessment is
carried out. In this case, F
2
shall be used, as
specified in F.2(2)P of ENV 1991-3:1995.
If F
3
is taken, F
2
may be used for evaluating shear
effects if specified by the relevant authority.
6.4.3.3 Determinant lengths L
F
The additional and amended values for the
determinant length L
F
given in Table 6.2(a) shall be
applied unless otherwise specified by the relevant
authority.
In case 4.3 of Table 6.2 of ENV 1991-3:1995, the term
trough bridge may be taken to mean half through
bridge.
6.4.4 Dynamic effects when there is a risk of
resonance or excessive vibration of the
structure
No further consideration of excessive vibration or
resonance of the structure is required
where V #220 km/h and the natural frequency is
within the limits shown in Figure 6.9 of
ENV 1991-3:1995.
In other cases, the effects shall be considered
separately in accordance with the principles of
annex H of ENV 1991-3:1995. A simplified method is
given in the guidance on annex H in this NAD.

6.5.4 Application of longitudinal actions
6.5.4.1 General and principles
3)P Unless otherwise specified by the relevant
authority, the following actions shall be considered
in the calculation of the longitudinal actions:
earth pressure effects;
effects due to inclined decks or bearing
surfaces;
anchorage forces from stressing or
destressing or accidental breakage of continuous
welded rails on or close to the bridge deck.
NOTE Simultaneous stressing or destressing or breakage of
both rails of any one track shall be considered, but for bridge
decks carrying two or more tracks the effects due to one track
only need to be considered. Breakage of rails shall be
considered as an accidental action (see 6.7.4).
6)P Unless otherwise specified by the relevant
authority, connections shown between the rail
and the structure/formation in Figure 6.11 of
ENV 1991-3:1995 shall be replaced with
spring/friction connections (i.e. connections that
resist relative movement elastically up to a certain
value and then yield at a constant resistance).
For ballasted track, the resistance per track per
metre length shall be as follows unless otherwise
specified by the relevant authority:
for unloaded track, elastic resistance up to
yield at a relative movement of 2.8 mm, followed
by movement at a constant yield resistance
of 20 kN;
for loaded track, elastic resistance up to yield
at a relative movement of 2.8 mm, followed by
movement at a constant yield resistance
of 40 kN.
See Figure 6.5.4.1(a).
For track directly fastened to concrete decks with
standard fastenings, the resistance per track per
metre length shall be taken as elastic resistance up
to yield at a relative movement of 0.5 mm followed
by movement at a constant yield resistance of 40 kN
and 60 kN for unloaded and loaded track,
respectively, unless otherwise specified by the
relevant authority [see Figure 6.5.4.1(b)].
For other track conditions, the track resistance shall
be specified by the relevant authority.
The maximum relative horizontal displacement
between the rails and the deck due to
traction/braking actions shall not exceed 4 mm,
unless otherwise specified by the relevant authority.
6.5.4.2 Assessment of longitudinal actions
1)P Unless otherwise specified by the relevant
authority, the assessment of actions transmitted to
the structure for the following types of structures
may also be based on the coefficients and
equations given above, where the conditions
specified in 6.5.4.2(2)P of ENV 1991-3:1995 apply:
all spans up to 15 m for any system of
articulation (for skew bridges, the span plus
lead shall be considered);
all monolithic structures (portal bridges or
box type bridges), regardless of number of
openings;
the class of structure defined in 6.5.4.1(5)(c)
of ENV 1991-3:1995, provided that the neutral
axis of bending of the spans is not above the
level of the rails.
For bridges carrying ballasted track other than
where the above criteria apply, a particular
calculation of the longitudinal forces as described
in 6.5.4.1(6)P shall be carried out.
For bridges carrying directly fastened track, the
assessment of actions transmitted to the structure
shall conform to 6.5.4.1(3)P of ENV 1991-3:1995,
together with the relevant clauses of this NAD.
2)P To clarify 6.5.4.2(2)P(a) of ENV 1991-3:1995,
the following limits on the expansion length of the
structure may be applied, unless otherwise
specified by the relevant authority.
a) If the track is continuous (i.e. without an
expansion device), the expansion length of the
structure shall be limited as follows:
60 m for steel structures classified
in 6.5.4.1(5)(a) and (b) of ENV 1991-3:1995,
carrying ballasted track;
90 m for concrete or composite structures
classified in 6.5.4.1(5)(a) and (b) of
ENV 1991-3:1995, carrying ballasted track;
45 m for steel structures classified in
6.5.4.1(5)(c) of ENV 1991-3:1995, carrying
ballasted track;
60 m for concrete or composite structures
classified in 6.5.4.1(5)(c) of ENV 1991-3:1995,
carrying ballasted track.
For structures classified in 6.5.4.1(5)(c) of
ENV 1991-3:1995, the expansion length may be
taken as the individual span length, or the sum
of the two adjacent span lengths, where an
intermediate support carries the free ends of
both spans.
b) Unless otherwise specified by the relevant
authority, the minimum value of track resistance
to be taken into account shall be as given
in 6.5.4.1(6)P.
Add after item c): These limits may be deemed
satisfied in UK conditions unless otherwise
specified by the relevant authority.

6.5.4.3 Longitudinal actions due to temperature
variation
Add a new item 4)P as follows:
4)P Unless otherwise specified by the relevant
authority, for single-span bridges not more than 15 m
long, carrying standard directly fastened track that is
continuous over both ends of the deck, the
characteristic value of the longitudinal action to be
taken into account at the bearings is given by:
F
Tk
= t40L
T
(in kN) per track.
For bridges carrying directly fastened track other
than those covered by 6.5.4.3(4)P, or by 6.5.4.3(3)
of ENV 1991-3:1995, a particular calculation of the
longitudinal forces as described in 6.5.4.1(6)P shall
be carried out.
To clarify equations 6.10, 6.11, 6.12, and 6.13 of
ENV 1991-3:1995:
F
Tk
= The characteristic value of the longitudinal
action due to temperature variation that shall be
taken into account at the bearing level. This action
results from the expansion movement of the
bridge relative to the continuous ballasted track.
6.5.4.4 Longitudinal actions due to traction and
braking
Unless otherwise specified by the relevant authority,
the values of the coefficients for traction/braking
actions for continuous track given in Table 6.4 of
ENV 1991-3:1995 are only valid when the expansion
length of the structure given in 6.5.4.2(2)P(a) is not
exceeded.

DD ENV 1991-3:2000
In clarification of Table 6.4 of ENV 1991-3:1995, in the
case of a structure carrying continuous track, where
the overall length of structure is less than 30 m, a
coefficient for traction/braking actions of 0.5 may be
used, unless otherwise specified by the relevant
authority.
Linear interpolation may be used to obtain the
coefficients for traction/braking where the overall
length of the structure lies between the values given
in Table 6.4 of ENV 1991-3:1995.
If only one expansion device is provided, the
anchorage effects due to longitudinal forces in the
rail shall be considered. Allowance shall be made for
these forces to be resisted by the structure.
Add a new item 3) as follows:

authority, for all bridges carrying directly fastened
track:
F
bk
= Q

, Q

6.5.4.5 Longitudinal actions due to deflection of the
structure
Unless otherwise specified by the relevant authority,
the effect on longitudinal actions due to the
deflection of the structure shall be considered only
in cases where the depth between rail level and
centre of rotation of the bridge bearing is greater
than 1.5 m.
6.6 Slipstream effects from passing trains
(aerodynamic effects)
This subclause relates to passing static pressure
changes as a train passes a structure.
The values of q
2k
given in Figure 6.14 of
ENV 1991-3:1995 are based on continental rolling
stock and structure gauge. The values generally
over-predict the maximum pressure changes for
rolling stock in common use in the UK, which is
compatible with standard UK structure gauge. As an
example, Figure 6.4(a) gives values of q
2k
based on
computer modelling (using USAERO simulations) for
a class 90 power car.
The values of q
2k
shall be agreed with the relevant
authority.
Slipstream effects that relate to air velocities, relative
to the ground, generated by the train pulling air
along with it as it moves through the atmosphere
(boundary layer) are not covered. These effects, that
have implications for the safety of persons and/or
equipment situated near passing trains, are outside
the scope of this ENV but should be considered.
The characteristic values of action q
2K
for simplified
horizontal surface may also be used for station
canopies without curved soffits that have one side
closed by a wall or station building, where the
distance from the centre of the track to the face of
the closed wall or station building is more than or
equal to 4 m.
For station canopies with curved soffits a particular
assessment of the likely aerodynamics loads shall be
considered.
6.6.3 Simple horizontal surfaces above the
track
5) This item is more clearly expressed as follows.
The action acting on edge strips that cross the
track may be multiplied by a factor of 0.75 over a
width up to 1.50 m.
6.7 Accidental actions
6.7.1.2 Derailment on bridges: structural
requirements and equivalent loads
1)P Unless otherwise specified by the relevant
authority, the following design situation shall be
considered in addition to the two design situations
identified.
All deck plates and other similar local elements
shall be designed to support a nominal point load
of 250 kN applied at the top of the deck surface.
This load shall be deemed to include all
allowances for dynamic effects.
2)P To clarify this clause, the two vertical line
loads shall be considered 1.4 m apart in a direction
transverse to the track (s in ENV 1991-3:1995,
Figure 6.17).
Unless otherwise specified by the relevant
authority, the appropriate parts of the structure
shall be additionally designed for the following
equivalent loads at the ultimate state:
eight individual concentrated vertical loads,
each with a design value of 180 kN, arranged on
two lines 1.4 m apart, with each of the four
loads 1.6 m apart on line, applied anywhere on
the deck.
5)P For structural elements above rail level, the
protective measures provided shall be based on
the following considerations, unless otherwise
specified by the relevant authority.
1) For deck type bridges, a nominal
concentrated horizontal force of 100 kN
applied perpendicular to and at the top of
the deck kerb anywhere along the length of
the bridge shall be considered.
2) For half through bridges.
If the horizontal resistance of the main
structural members provides comparable
protection to the protection for deck type
bridges, consideration of further nominal
horizontal concentrated load is not generally
required.
If the main structural members do not
provide comparable protection to the
protection for deck type bridges, provision of
alternative comparable methods shall be
considered as for through bridges.
3) For through bridges, provision of adequate
protection shall be considered on an individual
basis, taking into account:
the speed, type and frequency of rail traffic;
the geometry of the track;
the probable consequences of any
derailment.

6.7.1.3 Derailment under structures
1)P Unless otherwise specified by the relevant
authority, for supporting structures for new
bridges or similar structures constructed over or
alongside railway tracks, the following shall be
considered.
Wherever reasonably practicable, supports
carrying any structure over or alongside railway
tracks shall be placed outside the hazard zone.
In general, the hazard zone shall be assumed to
extend for a width of 4.5 m from the edge of the
outside rails of the nearest operational track.
Consideration shall be given to extending the
hazard zone in the following situations:
if the support structure is situated within
an embankment that carries rail traffic;
if the support structure is adjacent to the
outside of a track curve.
If supports are placed inside the hazard zone,
they should be monolithic piers and not individual
columns. All supports located between railway
tracks shall be considered to be inside the hazard
zone.
If individual columns are used within the hazard
zone, the design of the structure above these shall
incorporate a degree of continuity so that removal
of any column does not cause the remainder of the
structure to collapse under permanent loads
together with the appropriate variable traffic loads.
To provide robustness against the effect of light
impacts, all piers and columns and their restraints,
within the hazard zone, shall be designed to
withstand without collapse a single horizontal
design force of 2 000 kN acting at a design height
of 1.2 m above the adjacent ground level, and a
single horizontal design force of 500 kN acting at a
height of 3 m. The two loads may act in any
direction but it is not required to consider that
they act simultaneously.
These requirements shall be applied wherever
reasonably practicable to new footbridges, taking
into account the nature of the rail traffic and the
track layout adjacent to the bridge.
These requirements do not apply to lineside
railway infrastructure (e.g. overhead line masts,
signal gantries).
Requirements for particular structures shall be
confirmed with the relevant authority.
NOTE The requirements of this subclause are under review.
Reference should be made to ENV 1991-2-7.
Add a new subclause 6.7.4 as follows.
6.7.4 Accidental actions due to rail breakage
1) Actions due to accidental breakage of
continuous welded rails on or close to the bridge
deck should be considered based on the
requirements of 6.5.4.1, and in agreement with the
relevant authority. Collapse of a major part of the
structure shall not occur as a result of such
actions, but local damage is acceptable.
6.8 Assessment of traffic loads on railway
bridges
6.8.1 General
1)P Unless otherwise specified by the relevant
authority, the minimum spacing between centre
lines of the tracks may be taken as the existing
spacing or 3 400 mm, whichever is lesser.
NOTE The spacing provided shall be calculated from the
dimensions associated with the chosen vehicle kinematic
envelope with an allowance made for passing clearances, taking
into consideration the effects of track curvature where
appropriate. When calculating the required dimension, the
expected rail traffic shall be taken into consideration so that
the aerodynamic effects can be taken into account.
For bridges that carry more than one track, the
checks for the limits of deflection and vibration,
particularly with regard to safety, may not be
sufficient if only one track is loaded.
6)P Unless otherwise specified by the relevant
authority, the checks for the limits of deflection
and vibration shall be made with the tracks loaded
in accordance with the clauses of this NAD that
relate to annex G.3.
6.8.2 Groups of loads: characteristic values of
the multi-component action
In Table 6.6 of ENV 1991-3:1995, and Table 6.6(a), the
groups of loads identified in Table 6.6(a) by gr11,
gr12, etc., shall be applied as a single variable
action. The c factors given in Tables G1/2(a) and (b)
shall be applied to the group of loads as a whole.
Unless otherwise specified by the relevant authority,
Table 6.6 of ENV 1991-3:1995 shall be replaced by
Table 6.6(a). The note at the head of Table 6.6 of
ENV 1991-3:1995 shall apply to Table 6.6(a). Values
that differ from the boxed values given in Table 6.6
of ENV 1991-3:1995 are shown in bold in Table 6.6(a).
6.9 Fatigue load models
2)P An additional light traffic mix that may be
used, subject to agreement with the relevant
authority, is given in Table F.3 of this NAD.

Annex A
Annex A of ENV 1991-3:1995 (applicable to highway

Annex G (normative)
Basis of design: supplementary clauses to
ENV 1991-1 for railway bridges including
serviceability criteria
To clarify Tables G.1 and G.2 and requirements G.2.3
and G.2.4 of ENV 1991-3:1995, the values for the g
and c factors are given in Table G.1/2(a) for persistent
and transient situations, and Table G.1/2(b) for
accidental situations.
Values that differ from the boxed values in
ENV 1991-3:1995 are shown in bold.
G.3.1 Performance criteria regarding
deformations and vibrations
G.3.1.1 General
The limits of the bridge deformation for safety
purposes take precedence over the limits for passenger
comfort. Even if the criteria for vertical deflections for
passenger comfort are conformed to, additional checks
for twist, rotation, etc., shall be carried out.
G.3.1.2 Limit states for traffic safety
G.3.1.2.1 Vertical acceleration of the deck
2) To assess the vertical acceleration of the deck, the
track(s) shall be loaded as specified in Table 6.6(a).
A simplified method for assessing the vertical
acceleration of the deck is given in annex H.
G.3.1.2.2 Deck twist
2)P To assess the maximum permitted twist in
accordance with equation G.1 of ENV 1991-3:1995,
only one track shall be loaded with load model 71.
For bridges that carry more than one track, the
maximum twist measured over a length of 3 m shall
not exceed 7.5 mm, with the tracks loaded as
specified in Table 6.6(a).
This limit relates to the total twist due to any design
twist that may be present if the track is unloaded
(e.g. in a transition curve) and any twist due to
deformation of the bridge.
G.3.1.2.3 Rotations at the end of the deck (for
ballasted tracks)
1)P For double track bridges, only one track shall be
loaded.
For bridges that carry more than two tracks, the
criteria for double track bridges with one track
loaded may be used, unless otherwise specified by
the relevant authority.
Notes to Tables G.1/2(a) and G.1/2(b)
(1) The consideration of the effect of wind may be
required for slender structures.
(2) In addition to the partial safety factor g, the
variation in depth of ballast shall be considered in
accordance with 5.3.3.1(2) of ENV 1991-2-1:1995, and
agreed with the relevant authority.
Key to abbreviations in Table G.1/2(a)
and G.1/2(b)
fav., f.: favourable;
unfav., u.: unfavourable;
dom. dominant;
other: other (co-existing actions);
max. vert./lat.: maximum vertical and lateral
effects;
lat. stab.: lateral stability;
max. long.: maximum longitudinal effects;
max. lat.: maximum lateral effects;
loc. lat.: local lateral effects.
G.3.1.2.4 Horizontal deflections of the deck
To assess the horizontal deflection of the deck, the
track(s) shall be loaded in accordance with
Table 6.6(a).
G.3.1.3 Limiting values for the maximum deflection
for passenger comfort
8)P The provisional limiting values for vertical
deflection given in Figures G.3 and G.4
of ENV 1991-3:1995, and the limiting values of d/L
specified in Table G.5 of ENV 1991-3:1995 shall be
replaced by the values specified in Section 8 of
UIC
1)
Leaflet 776-3R, or by values specified by the
relevant authority.
In assessing the vertical deflection of the bridge, the
track(s) shall be loaded in accordance with
Table 6.6(a) unless otherwise specified by the
relevant authority.
The span/deflection ratios are only valid for use in
conjunction with load model 71, because they take
into account that the load from passenger trains is
less severe than the load represented by load
model 71.

Dynamic analysis where there is a risk of resonance or excessive vibrations of
railway structures: basis of the supplementary calculations
H.1 General
Annex H may be used as the basis of the supplementary calculations unless otherwise specified by the relevant
authority.
Subject to agreement with the relevant authority, the simplified method given in H.2, H.3 and H.4 may be used
for dynamic analysis, where:
220 km/h < v < 350 km/h, and/or the natural frequency is outside the limits in Figure 6.9
of ENV 1991-3:1995; and
the bridge is simply supported with a skew less than 208.
The simplified method only covers structural members where the direction of travel of the train is parallel to the
longitudinal axis of the member and where the influence line for deflection is equal to the span of the member.
NOTE More precise methods are currently undergoing development by the International Union of Railways (UIC)

H.4 General conditions
H.4.1 All conditions shall be conformed to in applying the simplified method, otherwise a special study should
be undertaken.
At least train types 3 and 4 (see annex F), together with any other planned or foreseeable trains for
which v > 220 km/h, should be considered.
The value of cos (/2k
res
) should be taken as positive.
When calculating F
rag
or F
hag
for a group of axle loads, only the axles within a group that can be placed on the
bridge span should be taken into account.
NOTE ** If the group of axles comprises more than one axle, the equivalent single force representing the group of axles should be
obtained by summation of the individual axle loads. If the conditions do not apply, the summation of the individual axles may be
represented by the expressions in H.4.3 and H.4.4. The expressions are derived from a sinusoidal influence line of length L for forced
vibrations and of length kL for free vibrations. The centre of gravity of the group of axles is assumed to coincide with the position of
the maximum value of the appropriate influence line.

Annex J (normative)
Models for traffic loads in transient
situations
The characteristic values specified in annex J shall be
used for load model 71 for transient situations, unless
otherwise specified by the relevant authority.
Annex S (informative)
Additional guidance
The Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB)
applies to the design of highway bridges in the UK in
versions published by the Department of the
Environment, Transport and the Regions Highways
Agency, the Scottish Executive, the National Assembly
for Wales and the Department for Regional
Development Northern Ireland. The DRMB includes
loading aspects and may be used for additional
guidance on loading.
For railway bridges, additional references and/or
guidance should be obtained from the relevant railway
authority.
Annex T (normative)
Design documents
T.1 General
Until completion of the ENVs and NADs for design of
steel, concrete and composite bridges, the design of
highway bridges of these materials shall conform to
the strength requirements of the Design Manual for
Roads and Bridges of the Department of the
Environment, Transport and the Regions Highways
Agency, the Scottish Executive, the National Assembly
for Wales and the Department for Regional
Development Northern Ireland, or as otherwise
agreed by the relevant highways authority.
For railway bridges, design documents shall be as
specified by the relevant railway authority.
NOTE Whether the DMRB or the NAD and associated ENV is
used for strength, a compatible basis shall be agreed with the
relevant authority until final issue of the EN documents and all
partial factors on strength and actions are finally established.
T.2 Additional guidance for highway bridges
In relation to T.1 and specific clauses of this NAD the
following should be noted.
Assessment and appraisal
(1.1.1(4) of ENV 1991-3:1995)
Assessment and appraisal should follow the guidance
in the DMRB, but with loading aspects related to the
ENV and NAD. Assessment should only be carried out
in accordance with the DMRB until all aspects of
assessment and appraisal of existing structures are
addressed by the relevant EN documents.
Definitions (1.4 of ENV 1991-3:1995)
Differences in terminology, particularly with respect to
carriageways and lanes, and with regard to use of
persistent/transient situations with
permanent/variable actions, are defined in ENV 1991-1.
Design situations and requirements
(clause 3 of ENV 1991-3:1995)
Coexistence of loads should generally follow the
DMRB requirements. Execution conditions relating to
fabrication, erection and construction do not form part
of this ENV or NAD, but general aspects should be
considered in development of the design prior to
specific execution requirements. Additional guidance
on design and loading aspects of bridge foundations,
abutments, retaining walls, and piers may be found in
the BRE/DTp publication Bridge Foundations and
Substructures, The Stationery Office, 1979.
Representation of actions
(4.2 of ENV 1991-3:1995)
The differences between the variable notional lanes of
the DMRB (i.e. 2.50 m min. to 3.65 m max.) and the
NAD/ENV fixed 3.00 m lanes and remaining areas
should be noted.
The expression 3.6 a
q1
= a
qn
= a
r
used in this NAD
implies that areas loaded by load model 1 are
effectively loaded by a uniform intensity irrespective of
width and length plus associated tandem system
defined by a
Q1
, a
Q2
and a
Q3
.
The NAD/ENV figures are at maximum disparity with
the DMRB figures where the numbers of notional lanes
change in the DMRB (e.g. around 7.5 m, 11 m, 14.6 m,
and 18 m). For single lane carriageways (up to 5.0 m
width in the DMRB; 5.4 m width in the NAD/ENV), use
of a
SL
(= 0.69), produces the same factor on the
tandem system and the UDL (i.e. a
Q1SL
= a
q1SL
= 0.58).
Vertical loads: characteristic values
(4.3 of ENV 1991-3:1995)
As with the paragraph relating to 4.2 of
ENV 1991-3:1995, certain aspects of DMRB loading
cannot be matched at all spans or load lengths. In
particular with regard to LM3, the variable separation
of the HB vehicle axles in the DMRB is not replicated
in any of the annex A special vehicles considered
alone, but the pair of vehicles given in 4.3.4a), b) or c)
cover most arrangements of loaded lengths and
continuous span influence lines with regard to total
vehicle loads. It should also be noted that LM3 does
not cater for axle loads greater than 150 kN, and
heavier axle loads are covered by LM1 and/or LM2
under 4.3.2 and 4.3.3 of ENV 1991-3:1995 respectively.
However, pairs of axle loads up to 450 kN each
relevant to DMRB 45HB loads cannot be catered for by
any of the ENV load systems, and special
considerations may be required if vehicles with such
pairs of axles are not restricted from entry onto the
structure.

Horizontal forces: characteristic values
(4.4 of ENV 1991-3:1995)
NAD/ENV loads may differ considerably from DMRB
values, but generally their secondary nature should not
require further consideration as the NAD/ENV loads
are compatible with the vehicle loading considered. If
horizontal forces are of prime concern, some further
considerations may be required. In particular it should
be noted that the effects of NAD/ENV centrifugal
forces can be significantly less onerous than the forces
currently in the DMRB, and if these can affect the
design, the difference in forces should be reviewed and
a suitable basis agreed with the relevant authority.
Similarly amended bases for other horizontal forces
may also be required.
Groups of traffic loads (4.5 of ENV 1991-3:1995)
UK designers only familiar with nominal and design
loads of the DMRB should ensure NAD/ENV loads are
properly applied where these are stated as
characteristic or multi-component actions, and
frequent, infrequent, characteristic values or
actions, particularly with regard to T.1, also noting use
of dominant component action and
associated/reduced group actions.
Fatigue load models (4.6 of ENV 1991-3:1995)
The appropriate traffic categories and models to be
considered should be reviewed and agreed with the
relevant authority at the outset of the design
requirements. See annex Y for more guidance.
Accidental actions (4.7 of ENV 1991-3:1995)
The required basis for all accidental actions should be
agreed with the relevant authority at the outset of the
design requirements. This relates to vehicle collision
forces on or under the bridge, as well as parapet and
barrier requirements. The associated vehicular loading
should also be considered or specified at the outset, as
well as any specific requirements for service vehicles
or maintenance requirements. The differences in
NAD/ENV and DMRB terminology should be noted,
especially with regard to piers and supports,
decks and superstructures, parapets and
barriers, etc., as well as the different partial factors,
that have been allowed for in the tabulated NAD
values, by adjustment of the collision forces given in
annex X.
Actions on parapets (4.8 of ENV 1991-3:1995)
The comments and guidance on ENV 1991-3:1995,
clause 3 and 4.7, given in this annex shall apply.
Actions on embankments
(4.9 of ENV 1991-3:1995)
The comments and guidance on ENV 1991-3:1995,
clause 3 and 4.7, given in this annex shall apply.
Pedestrian, cycle and other actions specifically
for footbridges (clause 5 of ENV 1991-3:1995)
The comments and guidance on ENV 1991-3:1995,
clause 3 and 4.7, given in this annex shall apply.

Annex Y (normative)
Fatigue load models for highway bridges
ENV 1991-3:1995 requires that the relevant authority defines the traffic category for the bridge. Unlike in the
British Standard, no guidance to designers is provided on this in ENV 1991-3:1995. In applying ENV 1991-3:1995,
the following shall be used.
Typical traffic flow models for use on UK primary routes are given in Table Y.1.

Road type Number of lanes Traffic category Number of slow lanes
Inter-urban 3 1 2
Motorway 2 1 2
Rural motorway 3 1 1
2 1 1
The ENV allows for fatigue models 1, 2 and 4 to be modified by the relevant authority. The ENV provides boxed
values for model 1, and UK values for these are given in annex X.
The ENV does not provide boxed values for models 2 and 4, but modifications to these models to improve their
suitability are given.
The ENV states that modification to model 3 depends on the verification procedure. A modification to this
model is also presented. The cycle multiplication factor, K
F
, is provided to account for the effects of more than
one heavy vehicle simultaneously in a lane.
To allow for coincidences of fatigue loading in two or more lanes, see BS 5400-10:1980, 8.3.2.1(g).

presents the UK view on standards in Europe and at the international level. It is
incorporated by Royal Charter.
Revisions
British Standards are updated by amendment or revision. Users of British Standards
should make sure that they possess the latest amendments or editions.
It is the constant aim of BSI to improve the quality of our products and services. We
would be grateful if anyone finding an inaccuracy or ambiguity while using this
British Standard would inform the Secretary of the technical committee responsible,
the identity of which can be found on the inside front cover. Tel: 020 8996 9000.
Fax: 020 8996 7400.
BSI offers members an individual updating service called PLUS which ensures that
subscribers automatically receive the latest editions of standards.

addressed to Customer Services. Tel: 020 8996 9001. Fax: 020 8996 7001.
In response to orders for international standards, it is BSI policy to supply the BSI
implementation of those that have been published as British Standards, unless
otherwise requested.
Information on standards
BSI provides a wide range of information on national, European and international
standards through its Library and its Technical Help to Exporters Service. Various

these and other benefits contact Membership Administration. Tel: 020 8996 7002.
